The fact that the match will be played in Spain and Manchester United's recent poor performance make Athletic Bilbao the natural favorite. I think Athletic Bilbao is the team that can win this match. However, Manchester United, whose only way to qualify for the Champions League is to win the Europa League, may have come to this match very well prepared. If their goalkeeper Onana does not make an absurd mistake, they may have a chance to win the match.
Even before the semi-finals, I've picked Bilbao as the favourites to win the Europa League. Their biggest hurdle is getting to the final because the final will be played in their stadium, and they have a higher chance to win it over any team they meet in the final.
I'll pick Bilbao to win today's game because they're simply the better team than United, but with Sancet out injured, things might be complicated for them. Sancet is an important part of that team. Even though all other players like Nico Williams will be available, I still think they will miss Sancet.
Id like to see how the Manchester defence deals with Nico Willanms though.
